Amber Vinson, 29, (left) who works at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, caught Ebola after helping to care for Duncan. She then went on a trip to Ohio and back - and was hospitalized with the virulent illness hours after her return.
In the wake of her trip 153 people are being monitored for signs of the disease, and three are in quarantine. In a statement released by her family today, they say Vinson would never 'knowingly' put anybody at risk, was vigilant in testing herself for signs, and followed all the relevant protocols.
'Suggestions that she ignored any of the physician and government-provided protocols recommended to her are patently untrue and hurtful.'
Her family is now quarantined her their Ohio home (bottom right) while Vinson battles the deadly disease at a hospital in Atlanta.
